"I constantly look at the work of the old masters, and I think throughout your life some styles speak to you more than others. It depends on where
you are in your evolution as an artist, but for me now, I have been studying more impressionistic work and trying to be more loose with my
brushwork. I strive to see both the color and shape exactly, and paint it aggressively and with confidence. I’m finding this gives me a freshly
painted look, like I came to the easel and painted the whole thing that day.
I continue to develop this style in parallel with my personal exploration of the big, eternal question of, “what to paint?” I like having people study
my work and wonder what its all about; not out of confusion, but because it’s making their imagination run with a narrative for the piece. Of
course, I know what it all means, but the idea that people can be inspired to create their own theme for the work, makes it fun and incredibly
personal."
